Description from the packaging:

For anyone, anywhere who's ever watched professional football and said; "If I were coach I'd have…"

This is your chance. This is your game!
Exclusive MLSA Action stats & graphics
Stop Monday morning quarter-backing and start playing it for real with new Microleague Football- from the creators of the award-winning Microleague Baseball, the ultimate in sports simulations. You get the players- 20 pro football rosters featuring you real-life gridiron heroes- yesterday's legends… today's stars… tomorrow's greats.

You control the teams- both offense & defense- and all the action, based on the actual season stats and performances by the real players and teams.
You win or lose based on your coaching strategies.
This no boring arcade-style game with imaginary players, requiring only a quick wrist and good hand-eye coordination. And board games aren't even in the same league. MLF is thinking man's football- a game for the football fan and stats buff.

Everybody up for the kick-off!
Before the game you select the home and visiting teams. Make roster changes. Fine tune your game plan. Select your starting teams.
During the game, you call the plays and pick the pass patterns- dive off-tackle, sweep, run a draw play or end-around, pass in the flat or throw the bomb.
You pick the defense- guard against the run, rush the passer, blitz, call a zone, man-to-man or goal-line. But be careful what you call- the quarterback may read your coverage and beat you deep! Better check the weather- it could change your game plan- and watch out for injuries and penalties. You decide when to substitute, when to go for it, and when to kick. You make the moves that make or break the game.

After the game, print out a complete box score. The Stat Compiler lets you accumulate stats for your team. In future games, you can use these stats in scouting reports to help win. You can even form your own teams for league play.
